A disorder that Norman "Nick" suffers from. He cannot miss out on anything or it will just continuously eat at him forever. He will try to go to any extent to ensure that he does not miss out on anything because he doesn't want to be the one person who wasn't there.
Norman "Nick" initially said he wasn't gonna come to LFK last weekend but after his roommates left, he got hit with mad FOMO and decided to say "F my chem test" and just leave at 8 pm that same night to not miss out.

Short form for ‘fear of missing out’. The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell other shit to buy into it freaking out. As crypto trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto.
Sold all my shitcoins and FOMO'd into WABI, Qlink, and THEKEY . Gotta make sure I catch that green dildo yo.
